How to Make Wild Grape Jelly | Making Foraged Oregon Grapes (Berberis aquifolium) into Jelly

[@krisslumsden6880]

I just make a syrup and my husband adds it to water to drink. He loves it! We didn't get too many this year, but there were lots last year. Hello Kitty!

Some comments/questions 1. That jelly looks so delicious! 2. THOSE BISCUITS look divine. Are you willing to share your recipe? 3. Your joke about the sugar gave me a good giggle. 4. Is Kitty a Rock Star? 😉 5. I really appreciate how you share your joy with us, messy kitchen and all. Thank you

Pectin is really good for our bellys, so is gelatin really good for our joints and cartilage.

Try swapping the sugar for honey. I had the best apple sauce recently that i ever had in my whole life. And it had 0 sugar in it. So now i experiment with honey instead of sugar. (I don’t have sugar canes… yet)

Awwww! Thank you so much for this. I'm curious if the same process works for other fruits? Like mulberries, blueberries, and strawberries? Also, Hello Kitty! (I make pet rocks with my little one, too) ❤❤❤ Much love from Michigan ❤

yeah pretty much just boil strain sweeten and thicken to taste

Hi, where would you recommend finding wild grapes in Maine? Thank you!

[@CedarHillsHomestead]

I don’t believe you have Oregon grapes but you should have Vitis labrusca (Fox Grape) in your area near the coasts. Check the shores of lakes, rivers, and wetlands, the edges of forests, and area with dappled sunlight. They pop up in recently disturbed soil too.

[@tatianatub]

and if you can't find them spread them yourself these ground cover wild berry bushes are adapted to growing in rough conditions

[@cameronvanatti]

If you didn't cook the seeds you could scatter them somewhere that you wouldn't mind having more grapes growing

[@CedarHillsHomestead]

That’s a great idea! My kids helped me pick these so they’re naturally scattered EVERYWHERE around here hahaha.

@@CedarHillsHomestead heck if they didn't get too hot the cooked ones might still germinate. Just got to try it if you want to. More grapes is more better in my opinion
